Wisconsin here, last week ot was -35. We give our pigs extra hay/straw. 3 sides of their has a wind break. Good job for what you are doing, if you are worried about them just put plastic around 3 sides of your shelter ;)
We've been hanging between negative teens & teens for a few weeks now. I'm breaking ice with an axe to water stock twice a day. Seeing running water is a beautiful thing.🎉
they do really well, if you're not raising for feeder options. Breeders love to bury themselves into straw or hay when cold the more bales the better! If you are raising feeders you will waste your money attempting to put on pounds during the winter months. Just some info from a producer in Montana used to cold and snow :)
God bless you and your family, dear.

You'd need to put out more straw so they could burrow
